Let’s unite to break the eight – Newly elected NPP PC for Manhyia South

Nana Agyei Baffuor Awuah, the newly elected parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party for the Manhyia South constituency has called for unity amongst party members in the constituency to help secure victory in the upcoming December elections.

Giving a victory speech after winning the primaries on Sunday, July 14, Nana Agyei Baffuor Awuah expressed appreciation to the delegates for electing him to replace Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

He underscored the need for party members to come together, work hard and support the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia to break the eight.
He called on his contenders and constituents to forgive him if he stepped on any toes prior to the primaries.

“Let’s come together in unity and work hard to break the eight. We are coming to work hard this year to support Dr. Bawumia and his running mate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh,” he said.
“The time has come for us to break the eight. We will not allow power to slip off our hands, not today, not tomorrow.

Whatever means we have to use to remain in power, we will do. We will work hard, morning, day and night to make sure that power does not go to the NDC,” he added.
The fiercely contested election saw the legal practitioner winning with 376 votes and his closest contender, Nana Owusu Afriyie Prempeh securing 141 votes, representing 26.82% of valid votes cast.

Akwasi Coker Gyambibi had 2 votes whilst James Owusu Boakye got 7 votes.
The primary poll became necessary after four-time Member of Parliament Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh was nominated by the ruling party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as his running mate.
